I was at a show, on the barricade, the sound literally deafened me for days. THAT was FINALLY loud enough. God it felt good in all the right places🤪😁❤️ *few videos from that show if you wanna check em out, one BEAUTIFUL rendition of Tower)*🥰
This guy has one of the best voices I've ever heard for metal. Thunderous growls and Halford-like high pitch screeches. Plus a pretty damn good singing voice to top it off. What a showman.
Ben Bedwell you have obviously listened to nothing metal at all if you think he has a great metal voice. Listen to cradle of filth (early stuff, none of their new crap) pantera, lamb of God, Brojob, infant annihilator etc.. Now that shit is metal. This is pop music for posers.
@MarzBarz You are one of the reasons why metal music is suffering. Not you in particular, but everybody with the same mind set. I am a metal head, and a fan of music in general. If you limit your self (musicaly), you make your self sound stale and rehashed. (see ac/dc) Having a diverse musical palate is a good thing and leads to great stuff like avatar. I do like most of the bands you listened to, but you need to open yourself up to new sounds. Also who gives you the right to say what is and isn't metal o.o.
I don't care if any of you believe me or not, but the vocalist was one time standing in for our teacher in German class. He was a really swell guy and even taught us some basics in growling and screaming.
Was listening to an interview with these guys on Octane recently, the most awesome thing I found out was that the lead singer is a Kindergarten teacher. How GREAT is that!!
I accidentally clicked on this, I had never actually heard of this band. I was about to leave but when I heard the guitar I just kind of stayed. Very impressed.
Depends on the kind of growl you switch to. False chord/guttural omg it’s fucking torture. More of an exhale that you push more air into? That’s more doable.
+Jumpsuit 13 (Some Guy) What the fuck are you talking about. Those are god like screams. He can do growls and screams like Bruce Dickinson or Rob Halford. That is unheard of. Let him do more of those screams, but only in songs where they would fit.
Taylor Tafoya yo i didnt mean it like that i meant that i dont associate iron maiden with avatar, i like both bands i just dont associate the different styles
You will NEVER go wrong at an AVATAR concert!!!! They bring it every single time!! LET IT BURN absolutely kills live🤘🤘 Biggest mistake in metal is to have AVATAR be your opener....might as well walk out and say goodnight when they are done.
Cant overstate enough how the decision by the drummer to play it straight up impacts the drive of the song. So many metal drummers might want to spice it up with some double bass or fancy 32nd note fills but this dude keeps it slow, right in the pocket. Awesome example of the pocket being applied to metal music.
Art like this is why I fell in love with music. All the passion and effort put into the making of all of his songs. The messages and meanings put into a badass mix of beats and vocals that sends chills down your spine is exactly what this is.
+Brittney Kay Yes I totally agree ....The production of these videos and music scores are a work of artistic talent that reaches out and grabs you....Let it BURN !!!!!!!!!!
I discovered Avatar in around maybe 2022/23…ish, cannot remember exactly when, but ever since, I’ve been a citizen of Avatar Country. Everyone in Avatar kicks ass!! Johannes, John, Henrik, Kungen, Tim..all of em!! I am so impressed with Johannes’s versatility vocalwise, and he’s a goofball too!! ❤
Without a doubt. Some of the guitar riffs have you moving your body without even realizing it. I remember listening to Bloody Angel and before I knew it, I was doing the most ridiculous dance.
this is my fav Avatar song, their sound and the lyrics are perfect together. i feel the message with this driving beat. definitely makes your head move, leg stomp, fists raise...motivation... kick ass
I was wondering if there's anything that Johannes can't do with his voice. He's such a versatile singer, and a charismatic frontman! Can't wait to see them in February 2019.
Caught these guys at Club LA in Destin Florida last Saturday April 29th. THEY WERE AWESOME!! Avatar keeps getting better & better. I love how they experiment with different tones & styles......just f'n awesome. We drove 5 hours to get to the venue.Thank you Avatar for such a great weekend for me and my husband. Also, Club LA was a great venue....hell, Destin Fl, was fun too. Everyone from the city, club, & band were super nice.
I don't know where you're from, but here in SoCal, concerts get kinda dull. Like, Mayhemfest and Knotfest were great. Awesome bands. But there'd only be 2 or 3 people in the pit that got really into it. Kinda killed the mood for me :/
I fucking agree. My neck would already be fucked two minutes in. This song is awesome. Just awesome. Best after fucked up at day song when u get home and about 2 beers. Fuck yeah
You feel a sudden pain The night turns bright as day This shit is going straight Out of your mind You start to feel afraid It is the price you pay To get the thrill You need to stay alive Let it burn! Between the cuts and cries You'll find a way to die Just take a sip And twist it like a knife A city full of sound Too late to turn around You need to flee the light To save your life You like when it hurts? Let it burn! Let it burn! You ain't sure what came first Was it your flame or thirst? You need to please them both To put you out Another wasted youth You thought you'd seen the truth We need to find a voice To help you shout I like when it hurts! Let it burn!
@@Liquid_Rigel It's about finding a way to cope with something (depression/grief/chronic pain/whatever else). Cutting is mentioned, but so is substance use. edit: I didn't realize that comment is 5 years old whoopsies
I'm sorry but when I read tags for this band that say Melodic Death Metal and I hear anything but Melodic Death Metal it's hard for me to appreciate them. So I move on and say for me they are not very good at all or what I enjoy or like.
Amazing concert! Loved it to the bottom of my heart! Avenged Sevenfold were the best! But i discovered Avatar last night, and it was amazing! One more band to explore
The song sounds like Southern Rock meets Metal and they had child. I can hear Hatchett and Skynard along with Maiden in the guitar. This song is just fun to listen to. I want to see it live and in person. I hope they come close to Bristol TN
Let It Burn You Feel A Sudden Pain The Night TUrns Bright As Day This Shit Is Going Straight Out Of Your Mind You Start To Feel Afraid It Is The Price You Pay To Get The Thrill You Need To Stay Alive Let It Burn! Between The Cuts And Cries You'll Find A Way To Die Just Take A Sip And Twist It Like A Knife A City Full Of Sound Too Late To Turn Around You Need To Flee The Light To Save Your Life YOU LIKE WHEN IT HURTS? LET IT BURN! LET IT BURN! You Aint Sure What Came First Was It Your Flame Or Thisrt? You Need To Please Them Both To Put You Out Another Wasted Youth You Thought You'd Seen The Truth We Need To Find A Voice To Help You Shout I Like When It Hurts! Let It Burn!
These guys are great, massive range on the vocalist- groovey talented guitarists. Everyone can find something cool about metal in these guys great compositions... loove how the feature of Manowar shirts, and snippits of Manowar..... true metal. Look forward to more from these guys.
Yeah like the devil wears Prada, screams about God, in a good way to, if you don't know them they're a Christian metal core band, but not judgmental but hardcore.
Starting at 2:15 - 2:17...guitarist on right forgets he has to headbang and bangs late lol but they really start going out of sync 2:13. I LOVE AVATAR!
